What it reported doing in 2024
Science Losing a loved one is not simply a distressing mental health event it threatens the lives, health, stability, and productivity of individuals, families, and communities. Bereavement is a universal experience with serious implications and it deserves serious research attention. Evermore is establishing the nation's authoritative research body and convener of multidisciplinary bereavement experts, grounding bereavement science in lived experience and rigorous evidence. Evermore championed the U.S. government's first comprehensive review of more than 12,000 bereavement studies, exposing serious gaps in the evidence base for psychosocial support after loss. With support from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), Evermore launched the Lived Experience Bereavement Research Network (LEBRN) to engage bereaved people, care providers, and researchers in defining the most urgent research questions and guiding the development of future bereavement care practice for the United States.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
